 Our Mission

 Paradise Alliance is a non-profit group in South Spokane County, WA formed to  fight the proposed zone changes on the east side of US Highway 195 between  Paradise and Stutler Roads.  It has been zoned General Agriculture (GA), but  there is a proposal to change it to Mining (MZ).  Our mission is to stop this  change from occurring because:

bulletThis would allow a large quarry and asphalt batching plant 
to be developed near us.
bulletThe project threatens water supplies and water quality, property values, 
wildlife, air quality and the peacefulness of our neighborhood.
bulletWells drying up, noise, air and water borne pollutants, huge increases in heavy traffic, decreased property values, 24 hour and weekend operations are just a few of the many negative side effects that this industrial plant/quarry would bring to the area.
bulletThe builder has been allowed by the county to make a SEPA Application  for a zoning change without getting an Environmental Impact Statement.  And once he made this application he was allowed to clear cut about 100 acres without getting the necessary permits which should require a moratorium on all activity for 6 years (Forest Practice Act).  He has also been allowed to destroy known wetlands.  Why hasn't this applicant been required to follow County and Environmental Regulations when the rest of us are?
